Shatoosh, an Albin 25 HN 1124, and Pashmina, a 9 foot Porta Bote have cruised over 8,500nm on 70 navigable waterways in the California Delta, the Columbia, Snake, Willamette Rivers and the Salish Sea of Washington and British Columbia. In 2011 they crossed the Columbia River bar to cruise the Washington coast and in 2012 they replicated Peter Puget's 1792 exploration of the southern waters of Puget Sound. In June 2015 and 2016 the boats were sold and Shatoosh is on the Sacramento River.

My Health Update

For 6 weeks I have been navigating the waters of the Allopathic Medical Model and I am happy to report my ship has safely returned to home port.My 2 biopsies turned out to be benign and not cancerous.

I am very relieved to finally know what was causing my symptoms. Once one knows what the problem is, then it is easy to deal with. I am so grateful for all my boating friends who have sent me blessings, prayers and good thoughts. Thank you very much..
